• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I would like to thank and congratulate the Mover of the Bill, Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki for being visionary and having the foresight to see that industrialization is what will revolutionize the economies of our counties and this nation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, standing here on a day that teachers are on strike and when our pupils and students are at home for the last three weeks, I would like to take this opportunity to express solidarity with the teaching fraternity in this nation. I am the ... view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I agree to be informed. view
• 15 Sep 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the guidance. I will hit the point on the Bill before us, but the teachers of this nation deserve to be paid what the court has awarded them. This Bill by the Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki tries to do some noble things. It wants to bring industrialization to the county level and to the wards. I saw mention of Constituency Industrialization Committees and I agree with my colleague Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale that that could be at superficial level. We need to look at it at the county level. This Bill wants to focus on ... view
• 28 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion. I would like to thank the President of the United States for visiting Kenya. This visit has sparked a huge political storm back in the United States of America (USA). The Americans, who did not like President Obama, are now confirming that they elected a Kenyan. They are now predicting that the next thing that he will declare is that he is a Muslim. President Obama made this visit at great political and personal cost. As Kenyans, we must be grateful and we must take the positives out of this visit. The ... view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With a lot of humility, I have sat here and listened to your directions to the Senate Minority Leader not to veer off the substance. Would it be in order to request that you also firmly, kindly and humbly guide the Senate Majority Leader, the same way you guided the Senate Minority Leader? view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would have done a disservice to the people of Homa Bay if I did not comment on this Motion. There is a place called Kanyadhiang in Karachuonyo in Homa Bay County. This place lays claim to the Obama Family. Therefore, I take this opportunity to inform my brother and senior, Senator for Siaya, that the original root of the Obama Family is in Kanyadhiang in Karachuonyo. They just have relatives in Siaya. They are squatters in the United States of America (USA). Sen. G.G. Kariuki said that it does not matter. However, in our culture, we ... view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I would like to start by congratulating Sen. Halima for bringing this amendment. There has been a law that requires the CUE to establish universities at the counties but what has been lacking is the link between the CUE and the county governments. What this amendment seeks to do is to bring in that link, so that as we set up universities in the counties, the governors and those involved in our counties are also involved in some way. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the location of universities has traditionally been skewed ... view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill because its intention is straightforward. It is to repeal the National Assembly Powers and Privileges Act which is outdated because of the bicameral nature of Parliament. Parliamentary privilege is a feature of democracy. There is the Westminster model and the French model. This is something that can be misunderstood, that we, the MPs, are making ourselves more special than we already are. I want to assure the nation that parliamentary privilege is an important feature of democracy because it protects the people who are elected to represent the common man; ... view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, those who were in Parliament many years before me said that you cannot substantiate the obvious. view
• 22 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I just want to clarify that I could be talking about the public perception, that Parliament is already very privileged and the word “fat” is just to illustrate the point. The debates on why President Obama is not coming to address us in Parliament--- We have not received any official communication. I received a card yesterday, in which I was asked to confirm whether I will attend a speech by the President of the United States of America (USA), which I did. I then received an email response instructing me to go and line up at ... view
